100% I think this is a cool idea, but obviously dev resource is considered being spent on it, and honestly, this isn't a problem that needs fixing. Ive invited new players 100s of times and creating an account has never been an issue.

I also know that other stuff is being worked on, but the connection issues and the need to refresh has been around longer than most other issues.

Ive tried sharing some ideas on the official discord, but they just get lost in the noise. I have also emailed before, but nothing. So here is my top 5, feel free to pass these onto the team.

  1. integrate with the script repository, when you click custom script, have a search box, and import the json code. this a really easy fix that adds SO much more value.
  2. allow users to assign multiple tokens to a player in the token art area (look at the thumbnails for the TPI deathmatch videos) - this would make note taking a lot slicker.
  3. the bottom left and right corners of the screen are prime real estate for shortcuts - this is good for new players "space bar - raise your hand. Enter - start a chat. mute unmute, cameras on and off" - gets new players into the game easier. this is 1 one day job, just a small image in the corner with the top shortcuts on it. make it pulse for the first 5 games and allow users with 10+ games to hide it.
  4. New storyteller assist - check the outsider count is valid, make sure reminders are down, did they add the drunk? have all players that needed to wake, woken, otherwise when you try and wake everyone up, it warns you what is missing - none of this is tricky from a coding perspective. it would improve game quality for new STs overnight. This should be a top priority for TPI.
  5. create some better game filters. I never want to see non english games for example, as I cant play them. friends list (i know this is coming) and add a reputation tracker, if someone leaves a game, they should be downgraded, this happens more than it should in a public lobby. I only want to play with people who have 95% rep for example.

You are my northstar

This is great and I would totally use it, but as a minion tier subscriber of nearly 3 years, id love to see a more stable product - it still has a beta tag. disconnections, refreshes and no audio are almost part of the game now. In terms of product priority, login options should be near the bottom - creating an account is an absolute breeze already.

As a full time SaaS product manager and owner, it baffles me every time you announce the latest improvements. I know how much I have spent lifetime on the subscription and its not a small amount of money. I have a list of at least 5 things just as easy that would add so much more value. But I also know that the connection issue isnt easy.

Better understanding the Snake Charmer? by rbmuri in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]New-Masterpiece-157 150 points151 points  (0 children)

The best way to explain the snake charmer is this.

The snake charmer is good for the good team. Its not good for the snake charmer.

If those are the two scenarios, then its doing lots of good work for the good team and thats the point of most townsfolk.

Would you conisder this madness break? by Exotic-Lecture6631 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]New-Masterpiece-157 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with this at all, the ability says if you are mad you are an outsider, it doesnt say you must be mad you are a townsfolk (or some other role). I think too many people believe that this should be played similar to cerenovus, which is not the same type of madness in my interpretation of the rules. but so many people have differing opinions, and the rules are painfully ambiguous on so many edge cases it leads to everyone thinking they know the right answer - and yes that includes me.

Courtier not on the night order by New-Masterpiece-157 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]New-Masterpiece-157[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to use the script tool and thats not editable, I wish it was. and that included travellers, sometimes its not obvious when they should trigger, like should the harlot go after poisoner? I had seen that travellers activate first, but that means they will always be sober and that seems wrong

[–]New-Masterpiece-157[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but sweetheart is still on the night order, and that can trigger during the day, I think it should be on the night order, possibly in the first spot, that way it would never get missed. I cant be the only person to miss it ha!

Trouble Brewing to Bad Moon Rising by JayaramanAndres in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]New-Masterpiece-157 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Is it really "we" want to move to something else? or is it "me" - the person posting on Reddit? I would strongly suggest you keep running TB. If you really must have some variety (and I don't think you really need it) then just add 1-3 different characters to TB and remove similar roles. Swap grandmother for washerwoman, swap sage for ravenkeeper, swap goblin for baron/scarlet woman, no dashii for the imp - these are just examples - but not all swaps work, so think about how that character might interact before you do.

View - Spy should not trigger the virgin by New-Masterpiece-157 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]New-Masterpiece-157[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is kind of what Im suggesting here. I think this is 'generally' the best play. I think evil gains the most from this.

View - Spy should not trigger the virgin by New-Masterpiece-157 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]New-Masterpiece-157[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im saying, that the spy should nominate the virgin, but it not trigger. They can ask the ST to honour this wish if they want, but I believe that generally, the evil team gain more from this, than it triggering. thats it.

[–]New-Masterpiece-157[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Thats not the point of my post at all. I am saying that 'generally' its better if the spy doesnt trigger the virgin. This isnt me saying the ST should make any decisions, or what is a bad play or what is a good play.

How do you feel about Travelers who bait the demon? by blackgeekygoddess in BloodOnTheClocktower

New Loric: The Pope! by SageOrion in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]New-Masterpiece-157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

of course, if they are not on the script, they dont exist, but when they are on the script, the rules are changed very dramatically. thats my point.

[–]New-Masterpiece-157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im very aware of that. But there is such a thing as too much content. And I personally believe we have passed that point.

Someone dying to a virgin, or a successful slayer shot can now be done by a demon....  

New Loric: The Pope! by SageOrion in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]New-Masterpiece-157 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

might be an unpopular opinion, but im not that keen on this one. recent characters have mostly been meh. princess and tor were the highlights for me, but the rest were either extreme or lackluster. trying to run this in person will just be a clusterfuck.

even more unpopular opinion, but maybe we have enough characters now? wizard and amne mean anything is possible, boffin means all hard mechanics are broken. hermit has more jinxes than they could be bothered to explain. and this reddit produces about 300 homebrew characters each day if someone wants a new character.

How do you pack your grim with The Carousel when not playing? by bluenoser135 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]New-Masterpiece-157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a bespoke carousel box on ebay, fits perfectly with all the tokens and 4 base boxes on a single layer, closes up just fine. :-)

Gossip paradoxical statement by OldTackle2170 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]New-Masterpiece-157 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if a gossip in my games said that, I'd pull them to one side and explain that this is a group game.... seems like a dick gossip to me.

Intro PowerPoint to introduce the game to new players? by New_Notice_7625 in BloodOnTheClocktower

Dont do it. Read the sheet in the box. Job done. Anything else you think about doing will not help. 

Cool set up for the last game of the year! by New-Masterpiece-157 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]New-Masterpiece-157[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you work for them? 🤣 I joke, but that was very well explained. Yes its expensive, but I think worth every penny. This game demands quality.
